First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study examines two specific genes (Cofilin-2 and Lactoferrin) in people with gum disease, some of whom also have coronary heart disease. Researchers want to see if non-surgical gum treatment changes these gene-related proteins and if they are linked to heart health. The goal is to better understand how genetics connect gum disease and heart disease.
